AMERICA DISGRACED
K.N.Rao.
Recently, I did not work in detail on the horoscope of USA
which I could have done if I had not been losing interest
in astrology and had not cut down my astrological activities
so much. But the Katrina hurricane tragedy has been made use
of by the press in USA, India and UK to criticise USA and
Bush in international newspapers, New YorkTimes, Manchester
Guardian etc. and even in Indian newspapers.I wondered why
I had not looked deeply into this tragedy instead of predicting,
an elementary prediction though it is, a year of disasters
for USA on the basis of Hindu New Year 2005.
The prediction was
USA
In USA Simha lagna is rising with all the five planets in
the eighth house aspected by Saturn. It should be clear that
it is going to be a very eventful year for this country but
in more disastrous ways than can be anticipated.
( Written on 4 April 2005)
I decided to see if from other astrological angles and here
they are:
The Role of the Eighth House and the Eighth
Lord
What struck me is the repeated
occurence of the role of the eighth house and eighth lord
in this major tragedy which is the biggest disgrace for USA
in so many ways.
I make use of the 4 July horoscope of 1776 with Simha lagna
which has given me considerably brilliant and accurate results.
Those using other horoscopes have groped in the dark but argued
violently and nastily without showing how other horoscopes
work at all.
CHARA DASHA
To start with let us see through
the Chara Dasha first. The Chara dasha in Jaimini is of Vrischika
or Scorpio from 4 July 2004 upto 2011. See how many planets
are falling in the eighth house from here. Antardasha of Kanya
in Vrischika is from 2 February 2005 to 2 September 2005.See
affliction to the fourth house from Jaimini angle. The tragedy
is clear.
Chaturthamsha
In the Chaturthamsha , it is
much worse as from Vrischika the eighth house has Saturn the
fourth lord and Mars aspected by Jupiter,Sun and Venus.
The antardasha again shows disaster to the fourth house.
The antardasha in which the Katrina tragedy occured was of
Kanya or Virgo from where the tenth and four houses become
warning signals of such disaster being on the soil of USA.
The tragedy is clear.
Vimshottari dasha
In Vimshottari, it is the dasha
of the twelfth lord, Moon and the antardasha of Jupiter which
is also the eighth lord. The tragedy is clear.
The Hindu New Year Horoscope 2005
Year after year, the sheer brilliance and the super scientific
basis of the Hindu New Year reveals such events much in advance.
To the disgracefully close minded physical scientists and
even the political scientists and analysts, it is a "superstition"
in condemning which they appear foolish, stupid and irrational
which they actually are. They will continue to fail to for
seen such events , fail miserably but never acknowledge the
superior role of astrology, Hindu astrology particularly.
Now see in this horoscope, the planets, again in the eighth
house aspected by saturn and Jupiter and worse the presence
of the fourth lord in the sixth house. The tragedy is clear.
It is one of those frightening annual horoscopes in which
you see no planets in kendra or trikona and all are placed
wrong in houses and the great benefic Jupiter so badly afflicted
that it loses its beneficence.
WARNING
I have not made any predictions about hurricanes in USA.
But looking at the planetary phenomena , I can see more such
disasters brewing after 7 and 16 September 2005
Now see what has been the press reaction in different countries.

United States of Shame

And when you combine limited government with incompetent
government, lethal
stuff happens.
America is once more plunged into a snake pit of anarchy,
death, looting, raping, marauding thugs, suffering innocents,
a shattered infrastructure, a gutted police force, insufficient
troop levels and criminally negligent government planning.
But this time it's happening in America.

Not only was the money depleted by the Bush folly in Iraq;
30 percent of the National Guard and about half its equipment

THE INDIAN PRESS

Pysician, heal thyself first!
It may sound callous, but the truth is that the thousands
of middle class Indians who sat glued to CNN watching and
discussing, of all things, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina,
weren't remotely driven by a sense of Christian charity or
Hindu compassion. On the contrary, you could detect their
smirk at the descent of the American Dream into a Third World
nightmare.
Don't get me wrong, the Indian viewer wasn't gloating at
the possible discomfiture of President George W Bush or echoing
the global warming alarmism of the ayatollahs of environmentalism.
There was just a quiet satisfaction that a country which believes
in its divine right to offer gratuitous advice to every-one
on every conceivable subject was now being shown up with its
pants down. BBC World, the world's most infuriatingly sanctimonious
TV channel, didn't need to lace its footage with the sepulchral
voice that accompanies every calamity in 'Bungler-dish' and
sub-Saharan Africa. The chaos of New Orleans was the worst
advertisement for Western civilisation in a very long time.
More significant was the irrelevance of Church bodies. The
evangelists who litter the landscape of the Deep South are
cash-rich and have an amazing knack of turning up at odd places
promising deliverance.
Beyond that, some Republicans said the perception among some
blacks that the White House had been slow because so many
victims were poor and African-American undercut what had been
one of the primary initiatives of the new Republican chairman,
Ken Mehlman: making an explicit appeal for support among black
voters, a constituency that has tradition-ally been overwhelmingly
democratic.
"Given the racial component of this, and given the current
political environment, there certainly seems to be a high
level of risk to this story," said a Republican Party
official, who,citing the concern among party officials about
the criticism, would only discuss the question on the condition
of not being identified. But Mr. Bush, reflecting concern
within the White House about the president's standing among
blacks, notably said in this radio ad-dress that "we
have a responsibility to our brothers and sisters all along
the Gulf Coast, and we will not rest until we get this right
and the job is done."

The Observer
Civil rights leaders, church officials and rap stars have
united in ferocious criticism of President George Bush's attitude
towards the tens of thousands of black people still trying
to escape the hell of New Orleans.
An overwhelming majority of the refugees are African-Americans,
who make up 67 per cent of the city's half-million population,
and some are questioning whether the government's response
would have been quicker had the catastrophe struck a white
community. The Reverend Calvin Butts, president of New York
City's Council of Churches, writes in today's Observer: 'If
this hurricane had struck a white middle-class neighbourhood
in the north-east or the south-west, his response would have
been a lot stronger.'

America's underbelly
Four years ago the outrages of 9/11 highlighted both America's
vulnerability and her resilience. Last week, faced with an
assault that was natural rather than man-made, we saw that
vulnerability again. This time, though, it was coupled with
incompetence. The images of the people of New Orleans navigating
a primordial swamp would have tested the imaginations of Hollywood
producers. The lootings, shootings and rapes made one of America's
iconic cities look like Monrovia ;the world's only superpower
seemed like a dislocated Third World country and this humbling
of America will not easily be forgotten.

George W Bush cannot be blamed for hurricane Katrina. Nor
can he be held entirely responsible for the inadequacy of
the flood defences, despite a specific warning well in advance.
The fortifying of the levees has been debated between city,
state and federal government for decades. Blame for the abject
failures of the evacuation and relief should be similarly
spread. But the buck has to stop somewhere and that place
is the Oval Office. The president has been found wanting in
the urgency of his response and his failure to drive through
the rescue operation.
The president's supporters rightly dismiss this as nonsense.
What is true, however, is that the flood has exposed the dark
underbelly of America's economic success story. The most successful
economy in the world, one that we admire for its enterprise
and dynamism, has spawned a society where the divisions between
rich and poor, and between black and white, are enormous.
Social mobility has stalled and the ghetto is alive and flourishing
in 21st-century America.
